What’s normal for teething?

coming on here for a bit of advice

noticed my 3 month old has really white bulging surfaces where her canines (lateral incisors) roughly are. They’re defo not her front teeth, and from what I’ve seen on google, she wouldn’t expect to get these until around 8-12nmonths?

Shes always dribbly, sucking her fists, tends to get upset now and then (what baby doesn’t lol), and on off red cheeks & sore bum, but not sure whether the last two are just coincidence.

Shes my second born and I don’t really remember all this from my first as I never really checked and it was 4 years ago now.

so yeah, I guess just advice I’m seeking. Could she be teething really early in these teeth and would that be normal for 3 months? Or is this completely normal and how they actually tend to look? Picture attached

My baby had his bottom 2 and then the top 2 lateral incisors come through at 4/5 months, so I would say it's totally normal. It takes weeks for the teeth to move through the gum before they become visible and then finally cut through. I could definitely see his lateral incisors like your picture for weeks before they cut through.

Both my children got teeth at 3/4 months. Totally normal for some. Definitely looks like teeth coming
